When a Horfe works Terre-a~'\terre^ he always oiiglit^ 

 the fame as in the Gallops to lead with the Legs that are 

 within the Volte, his two Fore- feet being in the Air, and 

 the Moment that they are coming down, his two Hind-feet 

 foUowins. 



'O* 



The Adion of the Gallop is always one, two, three, and 

 four ; the 'Terre-a-'Terre conlifts only of two Linos , one, two. 

 — The Adion is like that of Curvets^ except that it is more 

 under the Horfe ; that is, he bends his Haunches more, and 

 moves them quicker and clofer than in Curvets. 



To work a Horfe Terre-a-'Terre upon large Circles, take 

 care to keep your Body ftrait, fteady and true in the Sad- 

 dle, without leaning to one fide or the other. — Lean upon 

 the outward Stirrup, and keep your outward Leg nearer the 

 Side of the Horfe than the other Leg, taking care to do it 

 fo as not to let it be perceived. — If you go to the Right, 

 keep your Bridle-hand a little on the Outfide of the Horfe's 

 Neck, turning your little Finger up, without turning your 

 Nails at the fame time ; although if need be you mufl: turn 

 them, in order to make the inner Rein work which pafles 

 over the Little-finger. — Keep your Arms and Elbows to your 

 Hips, by this means you will aflure and confine your Hands, 

 which ought to accompany, and, if I may fo fay, run along 

 the Line of the Circle with the Horfe. 



In the Mezair^ ufe the fame Aids aa in working upon 

 Curvets. — Give the Aids of the Legs with Delicacy, and no 

 ftronger than is juft neceffary to carry your Horfe forward. —
